The short answer
The closest alternative to the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 MIL SPEC is the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($1,300) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $1,795 for the TYPE 1 MIL SPEC) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Benrus Watches TYPE 2 MIL SPEC is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2892-A2) and Field watch. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
